Cégep de La Pocatière is a post-secondary college offering both pre-university and technical programs across multiple buildings in the Bas-Saint-Laurent region. The campus serves approximately 2,000 students pursuing various fields of study from agriculture to healthcare and technology.
Founded in 1969 as part of Quebec's new CEGEP system, this college was created by merging existing educational facilities in the region. This consolidation established it as the main post-secondary education hub for the Bas-Saint-Laurent area.
This college maintains strong ties with the agricultural and industrial sectors of the Bas-Saint-Laurent region through its programs and community partnerships. Local employers and students benefit from this practical connection to the working world.
The college is located about one hour east of Quebec City and is accessible by road from the surrounding towns. Additional learning spaces are available at the Montmagny satellite location, giving students options across the area.
The nursing program achieved a perfect success rate when all graduates passed the Quebec Order of Nurses examination in September 2024. This result stands out as a remarkable accomplishment that reflects the quality of health education provided.
